    Is there anything specifically new to this app? We had Replika AI since 2017 or so, and AI companions have been subject of discussion for quite some time now. Including long articles and scientific papers. At least since the Covid times when that picked up. So what’s the news here?

    Experts: This is objectively horrible, and does not replace human interaction, and is probably harmful.

    Meta: This is awesome and therapeutic. Now give us monies!
